Suspect Nabbed With Nearly 12kg of Rhino Horns at Suvarnabhumi

Customs and wildlife officers at Suvarnabhumi Airport arrested a 36-year-old Vietnamese national after discovering almost 12 kg of concealed rhino horns in his luggage. The passenger arrived from Africa via a transit point and was bound for Laos when scans raised suspicion. A detailed search found the horns hidden inside a foam box, along with animal skin used to disguise the contraband. The man now faces charges under multiple Thai laws, including wildlife and customs regulations. Officials are conducting forensic checks to confirm the species as part of building the case.
